Master the use of moveTo, resizeTo, scrollTo, and print methods of window objects
Master the use of status, location, name, self, and opener attributes of window objects
The Window object is one of the highest level objects of client-side javascript browser Window. No matter whether there is an open web page in the window, when the BODY, FRAMESET or FRAME element is encountered, an instance of the window object will be automatically created. In addition, the instance of this object can also be created by the window. open () method. Since the window object is the common ancestor of most other objects, the reference of the window object can be omitted when calling the methods and properties of the window object. For example, window. document. write() can be abbreviated as document. write(). The instance name of the window can be omitted when publishing any method and property of the window object in the window. For example, when setting the status attribute for the current myWin window, you can use only status instead of myWin.status. However, you must use the instance name when calling the location attribute, close() method, or open() method in event processing.
Method of window object
The window object has the following methods:
1. Open method
Syntax format:
Window. open (URL, window name, window style)
Function: Open a new window and load the webpage with the specified URL address in the window.
Description:
The open method is used to open a new browser window and load a specified URL address in the new window;
When opening a new browser window, the open method can also specify the name of the window (the second parameter);
The open method can also specify the window style (the third parameter) when opening a new browser window
The window style has the following options, which can be multiple choices. If multiple choices are selected, the options are separated by commas:
Toolbar: specifies whether the window has a standard toolbar. When the value of this option is 1 or yes, it means there is a standard toolbar; when the value of this option is 0 or no, it means there is no standard toolbar;
Location: specifies whether the window has an address toolbar. The values and meanings of the options are the same as those of toolbar;
Directories: specifies whether the window has a link toolbar, and the values and meanings of the options are the same as those of toolbar;
Status: specifies whether the window has a status bar. The values and meanings of options are the same as those of toolbar;
Menubar: specifies whether the window has a menu. The values and meanings of options are the same as those of toolbar;
Scroll bar: specifies whether there is a scroll bar when the current window document is larger than the window. The value and meaning of options are the same as that of toolbar;
Resizable: specifies whether the window can be resized. The values and meanings of the options are the same as those of toolbar;
Width: specifies the width of the window in pixels, which has been replaced by innerWidth;
Height: specifies the height of the window in pixels, which has been replaced by innerHeight;
OuterWidth: specifies the external width of the window in pixels;
OuterHeight: specify the external height of the window in pixels;
Left: specify the position of the window from the left of the screen in pixels;
Top: specify the position of the window from the top of the screen in pixels;
AlwaysLowered: specifies that the window is hidden behind all windows, and the value and meaning of the option are the same as those of toolbar;
AlwaysRaised: specifies that the window floats above all windows, and the value and meaning of the option are the same as those of toolbar;
Dependent: specifies that the open window is a child window of the current window and closes with the closing of the parent window. The value and meaning of the option are the same as those of toolbar;
Hotkeys: set the hot key for safe exit in a new window without a menu bar. The value and meaning of the option are the same as those of toolbar;
InnerHeight: set the pixel height of the document in the window;
InnerWidth: set the pixel width of the document in the window;

Z-book: indicates that when a window is activated, it cannot float above other windows. The value and meaning of the option are the same as those of toolbar.
The open method returns a reference to the window.
